1965 Map of Bull Creek Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Bull Creek Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this mid-1960s survey of the High Plains, where the drainage networks of South Fork Owl Creek and Middle Creek define the landscape. The map captures a ranching economy organized around water and rail, with several established family holdings including Coe Ranch and Kiplinger Ranch situated near the seasonal creek beds. In the southwestern corner, the Chicago and North Western rail line cuts diagonally across the terrain, reflecting the vital transport link for this corner of Butte County. The intricate contour lines illustrate a series of breaks and draws such as Roundout, providing a detailed view of the land before modern agricultural and infrastructure shifts altered the local footprint. This survey is particularly useful for identifying historical fence lines and field boundaries as they existed during the mid-century.
